All I can say is WOW. You have captured the event with great surety. 
It is an emotional day. I stood before the poppy laden crosses in 
Ballarat and wept quietly, before spending time with the 
servicemen/women who were guarding them overnight. Do hope we see 
more next year ;-) and when are you joining in the fun at FOM2? We 
could use a Perther
Cheers
